Focus on Health

In 2009, we launched the Open Health Initiative - focused on the human right to health - with a goal to identify innovations to transform the global problem of access to medicine. Our research identified that the North American public had limited awareness of the problem, so we supported the launch of the Access Our Medicine Initiative in 2014. Since then, over 125,000 people from 160 countries have signed a declaration calling on stakeholders to work together to find solutions. In 2016, we supported a unique public engagement process - a Citizens’ Reference Panel on Pharmacare in Canada - an unprecedented opportunity for informed and extended dialogue between experts, stakeholders, and citizens.
